Assessment criteria for pass

The learner can:

LO1 Be able to design and build

circuits using combinational

logic

1.1 interpret manufacturers’ data sheets to select

appropriate combinational logic devices for specific

purposes

1.2 compare the characteristics of similar devices using

different technologies

1.3 design, construct and test combinational circuits

1.4 use computer software packages to simulate logic

circuits

LO2 Be able to design and build

circuits using sequential logic

2.1 describe the operation of sequential logic devices

2.2 use formal design techniques to design sequential

circuits

2.3 construct and test sequential circuits

2.4 use computer simulation to verify logic designs

LO3 Be able to design and

evaluate a digital system

3.1 design a digital system to meet a technical specification

3.2 realise, test and evaluate the design against criteria

3.3 improve the design by reducing the chip count through

the use of programmable logic devices.
